Braudy's most recent show was "Marking Time," a suite of more than thirty paintings presented in the form of a visual memoir. Based on black-and-white snapshots that stretched from the early twentieth century to the 1970s, the paintings expressed in vivid color the life of the artist's family over the years. "Marking Time" was presented by the Hamilton Galleries, Santa Monica, California, in February 2006.

Prior to "Marking Time" was Braudy's retrospective, "Finishing the Hat," at the Ellen Kim Murphy Gallery in Bergamot Station. A brilliant colorist, preoccupied with the play of light and shadow, Braudy's paintings exuberantly proclaim her debt to the sunlit world of Pierre Bonnard.

She began her career in New York, chafing under the influence of abstract expressionism until she fashioned her own synthesis of that bold use of color with a commitment to the human figure and to the reality of time and place.

She has had numerous one-person and group shows in New York, Washington, D. C., Baltimore, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, including "The Pool Paintings," "Signs of Rescue," and "Breaking Light."

In her current show, "Double Feature," Braudy's series of oil paintings are still-lifes of freeze-frame images from classical film noir. Instead of seeing these images as illustrating a plot, the artist appreciates them as evocative on their own, taking a fleeting moment that might pass below the level of consciousness and turning it into a painting. Although the original image is black and white she chooses to paint them in color in a tribute to their enigmatic emotional complexity and personal historic connection.
